The problem comes in update action, where password is supposed to be optional if users dont want to change it. When users leave password and password_repeat blank, a validation warning is triggered:
* Password must be repeated exactly.
with focus on password field.
Besides, * sign is not displayed after field name (in case of create action)
It is strange that the validation would fail in update scenario if you have both password and password_repeat empty. Try to remove the 'filter' validator first.
The 'compare' validator has the following code that should not trigger the error if password is empty:
For the * sign, you need to set CHtml::$scenario='create' at the beginning of the form. In the upcoming version 1.0.4, you can set $model->scenario='create' to do so.
If I use your approach, makes me doing the password hash somewhere else, e.g. onBeforeSave event, like this:
public function onBeforeSave()
{
if ($this->password) $this->password = sha1($this->password);
}
That's ok, but another question comes around:
In order to show password field blank, I do this in controller:
public function actionUpdate()
{
$user = $this->loadUser();
$user->password = ''; // empty attribute so it will not be displayed in textbox
if(isset($_POST['User']))
{
$user->attributes = $_POST['User'];
if($user->validate('update') && $user->save())
$this->redirect(array('show','id'=>$user->id));
}
$this->render('update',array('user'=>$user));
}
How to avoid the model overwrites the old value of password with the new one ? (in this case "" string)
